Farm Fresh Scotch Eggs.simple, portable, no need to heat for eat.
>>2791929>simple, portable, no need to heat for eat.Looks tasty. I had to google to learn that it's a boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated with bread crumbs, then deep fried. Or at least that's what they say.My simple portable no need to heat lunch year round is a flour tortilla, salmon, oil and vinegar dressing, hot sauce, and a gatorade. All of it keeps without refrigeration in the back of my truck.
>>2791929I'm a work-from-home office worker, not a trade worker.I had toast with cream cheese.
>>2791935thank you for explaining for others. I considered adding that, but decided against it, since this is DIY and not /Food/ or whatever.not that it matters, but my Scotch eggs were wrapped in ground elk. same difference... whatever.
>>2791929You overcooked the shit out of your egg
I am moving up north soon where everything is 3x as expensive. My new house has a large garage though, and I'd like to have a workshop. I just don't know what I should buy before I go to save money.
>>2791777You don't need to dilute it
>>2791777>Also, it’s amazing it seems nobody has come up a cheap alternative to shellac (or artificial shellac)Why? We have Shellac already, which is cheaper than Poly.
>>2791853Yeah, modern lacquer is essentially artificial shellac, but it's not cheaper and it's not universally better
>>2791857stop buying premade100g of high quality flakes are 20$ and enough to finish dozens, maybe even hundreds of chairs
>>2791857I'd use poly or a catalyzing oil for surfaces that risk getting wet/dirty, like tables or my coffee cart, and shellac for stuff where dust is the only risk.
>mineral materials such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone are extracted from BLM administered public lands are used for ready-mixed concrete, asphalt, and many other building materials.>There is no specific application form for requesting removal of mineral materials from public lands. Persons interested in buying mineral materials should contact the local BLM Field OfficeLow lease rates (like $165 for 20 acres) makes it almost free to collect ... is this too good to be true?
>>2789994OP here, so I think I got confused, there's a program for collecting sand, rock, gravel but you have to pay the fair value for whatever you take, and that's different than the $165 lease program which gives you an exclusive 20 acre claim to prospect there for unlimited gold, silver, gemstones, etc. Seems strange that the bare rocks you have to pay full price for but the gemstones they practically give away for free.
>>2790092probably because strip mining an area and mass exxing everything is a bit different from digging an area up and leaving at least 99.999% of it behind.
>>2790053>>2790069I guess I don't know the particulars of most BLM land, but are there usually any roads nearby that need re-paving or chip-and-sealed? Because if it is next to any local project then it might be worthwhile to set up and mine some gravel. If not, then yeah probably not worth it.
>>2789702There’s something cool about keeping the moon sacred. We shouldn’t turn the solar system into a junkyard.
>>2789639consider the following - in areas where land is expensive and hills are in the way, sand/gavel companies pair with real estate developers to buy the hill(s) and litterlly mine all of the dirt, sand, and gravel from the hill lowering the entire ground surface to what the developer wants and then the develop builds homes on the new flat ground, and a lot of the dirt, sand, and gravel has been produced and sold, or is available for landscaping. Also, I see sand and gravel operations buy up unwanted rocky land at near the base intermittent streams subject to debris flows and flash floods and mine the sand, gravel, cobbles, and bolders there and the stuff is repalced after big rain events. These are usually located about 10 to 20 miles from major areas where there is a lot of construction to reduce trucing costs.

In short: What modern material is the opposite of carbon fiber? Looking for an extremely high strength:weight ratio, but in compressive strength and not tensile.I've made a number of bows using various woods before, familiar with the process generally. However, one thing that always stood out to me is the lack of innovation in the field. When it comes to bow construction, the back (ie the side facing way from you) is always under tension. In traditional style composite bows, sinew is used. Carbon fiber has replaced this for obvious reasons. The issue is that I am completely unaware of anyone looking into what would be an ideal material for the belly of the bow (the side you see facing you). This side is under compression when drawn. Some research suggests that phenolic resin has been used successfully by custom bowyers, but surely there are other materials that would surpass it in compressive strength:weight ratio.For reference, my goal is to build a manchu style composite bow from modern materials.(Pic rel)
>>2790688=A. There are many types of phenolic resin.B. Just because it's used in a silly application doesn't mean jack shit about its material properties. Did you know people make keychain trinkets out of carbon fiber? Welp, better call space X and tell them to stop using carbon fiber. Oh? Your car has aluminum in it? Why own a vehicle made of pop cans? C. u r dum

Every farmer needs a real hoe.Sure, there's plenty of mass production brands out there at the stores.Those work OK if you're dainty with them.But does anyone know where one can get heirloom quality hoes?Hoes that can take a real man working the dirt with them
>>2791926last year i planted 300 saplings and the hoe used wasn't sharpened the last 80 years
>>2791932Every man who knows how to hoe keeps his hoe properly sharpened, and avoids contact with rocks or even dirt whenever possible.
>>2791934>and avoids contact with rocks or even dirt whenever possible.i too keep my yard tools as wall hanger showpiece
>>2791932300? Dude, that's one row out of at least 40. I'm not talking about planting, I'm talking about weeding once they've been established in the block. And there are at least 20 blocks.
>>2790297Make one if want that but that's like caring about heirloom quality bog rolls. >>2791926> last five minutes or so of lunch sharpening up Takes a few seconds with my flap disc on a cordless grinder.

How to I strip the paint off an old, heavy duty steel PC case? and any tips for repainting itI have a belt sander, a detail sander and an angle grinder but I legit don't know where to start
>>2789191Okay I gotta repaint one panel tomorrow because I fucked up, but I'll post a set of pics in the next day or so. I've got a 15 year old i7-950 running in it at the moment with 12 gigs of RAM, which seemed suitable for a 22 year old chassis
Okay this is an old pic of when it was in use back in the day, it was made in 2002 and was in use up until about 2018
Here it is now painted all black and with a first gen i7-950, with 12 gigs of RAM and a Asus GTX 1060 Turbo 6gig in itI recorded the whole process from start to finish so I'm gonna make a youtube video about it in the next few weeks, once I get through the editing of it all
Another random pic from the other side, I suck at painting and the coat isn't perfectly even but imma just live with it now at this point
Not bad bruh
noticed the sewing thread was gone and i wish to discuss it
>>2757873Would a sewing club be a good place to meet tradwives?
>>2772240>Paper is tougher than leather.There are a lot of different types of paper. That onion skin stuff that they print sewing patterns on, for example. So thin the machine won't know its there.
I have an old Necchi Nova and have had some trouble with drive bands/belts for the motor.The multi-pack that singer sells has one that kind of works but is a bit too small and the others are too large.I assume the next step would be to heat the smaller belt in some way to get it on the pullys and go from there.Has anyone DIY'd their own belts in a pinch or like how you make belts for foot treadle machines?
>>2791555Like with anything hobby or club related, generally no, but building up a skill that is useful and having it in your pocket for the right occasion is the benefit.If it is something you enjoy and want to get better at then you have the benefit of that. And when you meet a tradwife lady who is into sewing or cosplay or recreating 17th cent dresses at a living history museum, then you have the skill and knowledge to intimately talk to them without being a retard.
>>2757873Oddly enough try and find an anime/cosplay club.While the members might be cringe, the ones that can actually do things like sew and make their own cosplay will likely be more competent and normal than other members.Start your own or search at the local library, if your town/county has a rec center, or at a fabric store like Michaels or Joanne fabrics that has classrooms for use..

Would you watch kino here?
>>2789811^This but the point of a container is mostly not poorfaggotry. The crap containers you describe are of course the most common but it's easy to buy from a seller who lets you choose your specific container so I do.When helping my bro (who now has three to support his classic car habit) we went to the lot, chose containers then photographed the data tags to be sure he'd get what he chose. When ordering my two WWT boxes I was very specific with the seller that I would refuse to pay for a box with any major damage. Reputable sellers go payment on delivery so it's in their interest not to piss off customers. After those I switched to one-trip grade since a few grand difference is not a big deal for my very specific use case. My motorcycles now life in dust and insect-free environments which because container vents are small lets a small dehumidifier keep them bone dry. With doors on both ends I can ride in, through and out.The best way to buy WWT/condemned for maritime use is scoring those which failed due to bad end door gaskets but are not much otherwise damaged. Then because gravity causes water to flow past the failed end door gaskets I welded a piece of angle (flat bar is fine too, I use what I have where appropriate) between the corner fittings leaving sufficient room to open the doors. That deflects all the water which would run inside the top outboard away from the end doors.>Show me a container house made with actual cheap containers.There are some on spewtube but they took more work than I care to do.Were I poor then I would since for a house I could just completely seal the end doors after installing a man door in one of them. I would not weld them shut so I could open them one day easily if needed. Inspiration lives on sites like https://www.seabox.com/products/category/containerized-sheltersComment too long.

>>2791329Whatever works for your specific use case. Roof-mounted solar is an easy option since you can weld support frames to elevate the panels and aim as desired. I don't pay enough for electricity to bother with solar as other than backup but if I get bored enough I'll do it that way for easiest erection, mods and maintenance.My subpanel runs off the aforementioned power pole outdoor panel and was installed at leisure. Shit's easy since containers are basically a single-wide MH format with the option to weld on more. I love the things as they're ideal for metalworkers.
I've been training tae kwon do for some time and I saw that there is a necessity of recreating some sort of detection on the armor. To give more context, in the major competitions, there are sensors in the armor that are responsible for detecting contact and the amount of force applied. I'm wondering if I can replicate it with an arduino and want tips on this.What I've found so far is that it is possible to use FSR sensors, but they are not good for measuring a scale of force. So I should be able to use load cells with an Arduino and a HX711 amplifier module. Any tips on doing this whole project? Hardest part for me might be inserting it all inside the armor.
strain gauges are the usual choice these days for force detection
For example, there are these load cells, and I could add them to the padding with some form of plate that covers some area, and this should allow me to validate where the kicks are hitting. Any ideias on how I should distribute these?
>>2791900Why not load cells?

I'm worried about hammering nails into wires when I'm hanging paintings. I'm gonna get a stud detector/wire finder, but I've seen some people say these are unreliable. Should I be worried? I really don't want to hurt myself or need to have electrical repairs done in my house.
>>2791040I picked up a $500 SEEK brand one for $200, thinking I could finally have a good stud detector. Was disappointed. It’s helpful for finding the occasional vertical stud, but mostly it just works on the ceiling. On some external walls the insulation behind the dry walls isn’t so great, so there is a larger temp difference, but yeah I was bummed. On the flip side, it’s rad as fuck for when I’m out camping, or doing astronomy alone at night. I get kind of creeped out, and it does an awesome job detecting animals and people. I have a black dog that basically vanishes into the darkness, and could finally see where he would be, and not worry about coyotes and shit. It’s good for pcb, but reflections make it harder. Reflections In general suck, like looking for leaks in a plastic tarp greenhouse. I thought I’d be able to see like het in the air escaping. But stead I just see reflected heat off the plastic.
I found out I have drywall that's about half an inch thick, so I figure nails are probably a no go. Have you all heard of monkey hooks? What about drywall anchors? What do you think would be best?
>>2791810Those monkey hooks are good for hamging pictures and stuff. And there’s half a dozen different types of commonly used drywall anchors depending what you want to do.
>>2791810For heavy stuff on drywall like hanging mirrors these are the best.I've run into 6 of them being used to mount a full motion 55" TV to drywall. I obviously don't recommend that, the guy was an idiot and couldn't locate a stud. It held on the drywall, the problem I was called for was the weight of the TV and mount was pulling the whole sheet of drywall off the studs, like a huge bubble.But picrel are awesome and great if you need to mount something on a hollow cinderblock wall.
>>2791810These >>2791904 are good for heavier stuff. The regular plugs/anchors like the left of picrel are good for lighter duty applications. The pop toggles on the right of picrel (sold under a different brand at Lowe”s) have been my favorite recently for medium to heavier stuff, like this towel rack where the regular plugs weren’t holding up, especially in spots where regular toggle bolts don’t work.
i have abused this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe. i don't even know if there is oil in it.why do people talk shit about briggs and straton engines? it just keeps running

i like the hydrostatic cub cadets Loaded ag tires, weights and chains make for pretty incredible traction.
>>2791280>>2791275The physics of rotational weight help you out too. With one wheel peel garden tractors you are very likely to spin one wheel in low traction situiations. More weight over the low traction tire helps, but rotational weight helps even more. The weight js low,will never make you tip, but making a heavy wheel accelerate quickly and start spinning requires far more energy than a light one.Heavy as hell wheels wont spin, even if in very low traction, and the weight helps too, hence wheel weights.You can make your own out of concrete and threaded rod pretty easy.
>>2791309You're thinking of the Teledyne/Continental 4A032. It's only similar to the VW in rough appearance. They're a much more durable and easily serviced engine than all but the actual industrial VW mills.
>>2791483^This. They're great engines. Mufflers and noise suppression are easy to fab.
